Please note before
start-up:
1. The electric supply must be the same as
given on the machine nameplate.
2. This machine is double insulated and
need not be grounded (earthed).
3. Do not exert undue pressure on the ma-
chine. This will not increase its performance.
Just position the bit and guide it into the
hole.
Lubrication of chuck: The chuck is not in-
corporated in the lubricating system of
the machine. The drill bit connection end,
therefore, must be cleaned regularly and
sprayed sparingly with Hilti lubricant.
Start-up time at low temperatures: Shorten
it by jolting the drill bit once against the base
material during the start-up.
Servicing:
Electric tools comply with respective
safety regulations. Servicing must, there-
fore, be carried out only by qualified elec-
trical specialists. For your safety, only
use original Hilti repair parts.

ward sleeve and hold it there. Press chuck
onto guide tube as far as it will go. Release

On attaching a keyless chuck, the hammer-
ing action is automatically cut out i. e. rotary
drilling only is obtained.

sulated for extra operator protection. The
